Amazing! We rented the house for New Year's Eve. We had plenty of space for 10 adults and 3 babies without feeling like we were on top of each other. The house is very spacious and well-stocked. The lower level is full of fun games and activities; there was something for everyone! Highly recommend. Andrew and his property manager are extremely helpful; both made sure we had everything we needed leading up to the trip - going so far as recommending lunch restaurants!

Rebecca2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

I stayed here with some of my colleagues as our project completion celebration getaway. A fun, relaxing weekend is what we were looking for and that’s exactly what we got. The castle is equipped with all kinds of entertainment and has everything one needs. Anastasia and Mary Ann were helpful and quick to respond to everything we needed! I highly recommend this castle if you want nature, serenity and entertainment all in one package.

bardia2016-04-04T00:00:00Z

Anastasia was a wonderful host to deal with on Airbnb. Even though I didn't get to meet her in person, she was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions I had about the listing. She was willing to work with me on special requests and she provided us with all the pertinent information needed for our stay. The home we rented was a huge, beautiful home & had all the amenities you could ever ask for. The only complaint was the internet speed which was too slow to be useful for any normal browsing. That wasn't much of a problem since it made the stay into a real get-away from technology as well. The property manager, Daniel, was also great to work with. He showed us everything we needed to know about the property and went above & beyond in helping us with some pest control issues in the backyard and boat dock.

More than a "home away from home"! Fun- from stargazing or reading on the deck amidst incredible views to biking, hiking, kayaking, pool or ping-pong, campfires and boardgames. However you define fun- we want to help make it happen. Transportation and event accommodations avail. If you want to have a fun place to get together with a large group, rent several of our rooms ($50 each, please pay on arrival, pets are $15) and have lots of space to interact. Colleges & wedding venues are close.

The bedroom has a queen bed, desk and plenty of room for clothing/belongings. (Additional rooms are available) It is on the main level and shares the large kitchen/ family room area. Guests are welcome to use the more private large rec room with a ping-pong and a pool table. We have numerous board games. Guests will have access to the kitchen and laundry within reason, DISH TV, internet connection, large screen TV with DVD's, numerous games, deck with amazing vistas and large table with chairs and a grill. We have a large front and backyard as well. We have fenced horse pastures which can be used for an additional fee and a large outdoor animal pen. (Typically animals are allowed in the house in a carrier/pen). If your pet is allowed to stay inside, you will need to pay an additional $15 (paid directly to us on arrival). Eggs and bacon, or cereal will be available for breakfast. For an additional fee, we will buy you specific groceries and/or provide transportation. (We are close to several wedding venues including Sundara and Wisteria Ridge). If you can think of anything you would like to have available, we will sure try to accommodate! It is a beautiful rural mountain area with a view of the nearby mountains. We have bikes and kayaks available for use.

We are smack dab in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. It is nice for solitude or numerous fun activities. Maybe you enjoy a dark night sky for star gazing, quiet time on the deck for reading and relaxation or a night of playing board games. There is plenty to enjoy.

Carol, her husband and their two delightful dogs made us feel very welcome from the start - the best part of traveling is all the people we meet along the way, and we'll definitely remember our stay in their beautiful home (which was clean, lots of space, wifi, our own bathroom, all you need) and the breakfast on the porch, watching the sun rise over the Virginia mountains, was a highlight. Highly recommend it! Thank you Carol!

Neta2016-10-28T00:00:00Z

It is a beautiful home and the host and family are very hospitable.

Cathy2016-11-24T00:00:00Z

Staying with Carol was fantastic. We were on our way from Kentucky to Virginia Beach and got slowed down due to having some extra stops and traffic and didn't show up until almost midnight but Carol still came out to greet us, help us get our dog settled and get all of our stuff in the house anyways. She baked us cookies and offered us a variety of treats when we came into the house. In the morning, we slept in and she took care of our dog for us while she mowed her lawn and let him run around and kept an eye on him. This was a fantastic first experience with airbnb. Would recommend carol to anyone.

Tanner2016-07-24T00:00:00Z

Carol and Brian were amazing hosts! We loved the house! Carol welcomed us with cookies and even cooked for us on the 2nd night! Everything was great. Would definitely love to stay there again!

Gabriel2017-01-04T00:00:00Z

Peter is no good at this so I'm going to write it for both of us!--This place was absolutely fantastic! Our hosts were very attentive and kind. They even were nice enough to take us out with their kayaking group when we had expressed interest in trying it out. This saved us from having to rent, trying to figure out where to go, and surrounded us with good company. Same goes for mountain biking. They lent us their bikes and were nice enough to pick up the gear from us when we were done. The house is out in the country away from the hustle and bustle of the city which was exactly what my boyfriend and I were looking for. The room itself was clean and comfortable. Two cute dogs! Also, at night my boyfriend did a timelapse of the stars with his camera as I watched the fireflies. Really a magical place. Quiet a lovely family as well. Very inclusive. If you are looking to feel like you are staying with friends this is the place to go! Very local experience and would recommend to any one.

Peter 2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

The location is a little bit far from the city and is not very convenient for late arrival. The hosts are very nice and friendly making cookies and pancakes for us and chatting with us, but at the same time there's less private space compared to other places, just the bedrooms we rent. The bedrooms are ok but seem not be very clean and organized for hosting the guests.

Sherry2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

The location is perfect for the nature lover or anyone wanting quick access to Roanoke. The room was tidy and the bed was comfortable. The morning sun and the beautiful view were a nice perk. We had a nice time visiting and playing a little ping pong when we got back from a convention. They are very friendly hosts.

Stefanie (Devyn)2016-04-05T00:00:00Z

Carol and Brian were the most wonderful hosts and made me feel welcome and at home! We had great conversations, played pool and they were more than gracious, thinking of every detail! I would highly recommend them to anyone that is interested in staying the area! How lucky I was and you will be they wonderful hosts and very nice people to get to know!!*****

What makes our mountain setting so unique is that it is only 15-20 minutes away from Roanoke city activities; 15 minutes to a marina for boating access to Smith Mountain Lake; and 30 minutes to the airport and other towns.

Very friendly owners.

Steve2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

We transferred to the Roanoke area from Washington State and needed temporary housing for our family of four while waiting on our house to close. This rental provided us just what we needed. It is exactly as it appears online, a nice sized, quiet, comfortable location. The hosts were very accommodating and flexible to our special scenario of not only not knowing when we would arrive (we didn't know how long the across country drive would take) but also not knowing exactly how long we would need to stay, we were trying to close on our new house and the closing date kept changing. This made the extremely stressful scenario of traveling across country and trying to find temporary housing so much less stressful, so a big thanks to them for their willingness to be flexible! They were also good in that they were there whenever we had questions but gave us our privacy. I mainly dealt with the husband, John, and he was just a great guy in general. I couldn't have asked for a better host. This rental was good for our long term use but would be great for a vacation stay also, I highly recommend it!

Great spot! Easy in and out and beautiful upstairs/lake view. Yard and deck were a little rough, but nothing major. Enjoyed our stay!

Jason2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

The house is located in a stunning location on the shore of the lake very comfortable. We got great pleasure from the location. Thought over everything: a comfortable kitchen, dining area, recreation area, there is a gym, sports equipment at the boat station. Grieved the state of the house, everything and everywhere is very dirty and neglected, the impression is that the house is not cleaned for months and the owner is limited to the cleaning that guests leave after themselves. Also for us, the problem was the lack of bed linen and towels. The Internet network in the house is there but it did not work for us to connect to it. Since we are traveling far and this house is not the first in our way, we have forgotten the rules of living in the house, and because of the lack of Internet, we could not clearly read the instructions, we did not take the garbage with us for what is not very convenient for the next guests. Did not expect that there is no cleaning in the house !!!! By itself, the house and place are beautiful !!!!!!!!!

Olga2017-06-29T00:00:00Z

Hani was great with his responses! The house was HUGE! A little bit too big for our small party. The dock was gorgeous and is in a secluded cove.

Allison2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely family vacation in this beautiful, spacious home with great lake views and easy access to the dock and boat house. The home is located in a private, quiet setting. Hani was a very gracious host who was easy to reach. He responded quickly to any questions we had. We loved our stay here!

Donna2016-07-21T00:00:00Z

Hani was an awesome host. Very quick with responses to questions. Location was great and good fishing off deck. We had a great time

Emmanuel 2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

House is huge. And very comfortable. Hani is very pleasant and was very available by text/phone as needed. Great dock on the water. Neighborhood is quiet. The cove the house is situated on is great: just private enough but with fast big water access. We had everything we needed and wanted here, and then some. We are going back again soon.

Les2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

This is a great place for a family vacation! Not many places have that many large beds and 4 bathrooms! You cannot beat the lake view from the deck, screened in porch and dock! There are several lounge chairs in all those spaces to watch the water. Hani always responded to questions in under 5 minutes! He has tons of movies and books if you wish to be indoors. Tips: -Be sure to bring your own bed linens and towels (including hand towels) -The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals. -Currently there is no cleaning fee and the people before us clearly did not clean up after themselves. That was our only disappointment. This home is such a great value because you need to clean up after your stay! Please respect Hani's beautiful home and the rest of his guests by doing so!

Natalie2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

The home was absolutely lavish! Beautiful decor and very spacious, comfortable, clean, etc. Hani was responsive and overly accommodating. He worked with my requests and questions in a timely, professional manner. I highly recommend staying at this amazing spot on the lake!

Guest room with queen bed, wooded view, guest bathroom. Screened porch with a mountain view; just 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and 8 miles from downtown Roanoke.
The driveway is 1/10th mile long, steep gravel and requires at least front wheel drive. All-Wheel preferred! But, the view makes it worth it!
Optional use of another bedroom downstairs per request for extra charge.

Custom built home with an eclectic style.

Not a neighborhood; more of a country setting on the side of a mountain. Very private with great views; deer and wildlife in the yard.

Things you should know about Stephanie's Mountain Retreat: It is really on a Mountain, it is really a Retreat, it is beautifully appointed, very comfortable, spacious, and you won't want to leave once you are there. Stephanie is a gracious, open, friendly hostess. I look forward to the next time I can get there.

Pamela2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Mountain Retreat is truly just that-lovely, open mountain views from a quiet, serene setting. I stayed in what was more like a whole separate wing, a huge suite complete with a nice book selection ( I wanted to read them all), an overstuffed chair and ottoman,for reading them in, and in-room tea service that included my favorite decaf green tea. Stephanie made special arrangements to accommodate my check-in needs. Her place is indeed convenient to the Harvester, where I went for the first time. Great sound system, comfortable seating, very efficient AC system. The whole place was wonderfully appointed with carefully curated art and objects d'art, all of which were so expertly incorporated into the architecture, they actually looked like they grew there! I hope it is not too long before I can return to Mountain Retreat.

Pamela2017-05-06T00:00:00Z

The house over looks the Blue Ridge Parkway! 5 minutes to the Bent Mountain Bistro (a farm to table restaurant) - wineries- breweries - Great biking and hiking! Floyd is 30 minutes - Roanoke 22 minutes. If this one bedroom is taken you can see my other one bedroom posts. The house sits on 45 acres with a stocked fishing pond. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and everyone in between. If you'd like more than one bedroom please send me a message. Thanks!

Gorgeous home in the mountains! Jamie and Ben were excellent hosts. Even upon a late arrival, we were welcomed, shown around the house, and had the opportunity to relax and chat with our hosts. The room and house was better than described. We had a wonderful night sleep on a super comfy king bed followed by hot showers in a huge multi-head shower and a home cooked breakfast. Jamie and Ben gave us recommendations on what to do with our day and perfect directions for the "scenic route". We cannot wait to come back and stay at this mansion in the mountains again!

Lauren2016-07-24T00:00:00Z

What can we say???? The house and setting were breathtaking. Jamie and Ben were unbelievable hosts. We had such fun and The Bent Mountain Bistro was such a treat, made better by our first night introduction by Jamie and Ben. We were really spoilt by incredible home cooked breakfasts.we cannot thank our hosts enough (pity about not seeing snakes and bears

Heather2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

Absolutely beautiful place - we loved taking walks on their land and sitting on the patios taking in the incredible view. Many thanks to Jamie and Ben for being such friendly and helpful hosts. This place is definitely worth the drive on back roads (bring the directions they provide - if we had relied on GPS we would have walked the last mile

eleanor2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

Our experience with Jamie and their amazing home was outstanding! She was an exceptional hostess and this home and mountain setting were more incredible than I imagined possible. We loved the proximity to Floyd, Roanoke, and the fantastic Bent Mountain Bistro. The bed was very comfy and the decor delighted my soul! We hope to return many times to encounter renewing retreats in Bent Mountain!

Rhonda2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

This stay was fabulous! Our hosts took such special care of us, including a wonderful breakfast each morning. We had an opportunity to chat and make friends. The location overlooking the mountains was breathtaking. The drive there in the dark was an adventure but when done by daylight, it seemed so much less daunting. I would return in a heartbeat and recommend to anyone considering this booking, proceed. You will not regret it.

This quiet, cozy 360 square foot studio apartment has a stunning view of Smith Mountain Lake. Start your day off right - sipping some coffee on the patio watching a brilliant sunrise. With its own private entry, guests may come and go with ease. Even though it's part of our home, it's completely private.

Our home sits just 200' above the lake with amazing views out the back. This custom-built space is the perfect escape for one or two. The apartment is on the lower level of the back side of our home; we live on the upper floor. There are two recliners to hang out in to enjoy the fireplace or to watch TV from, in addition to a dining table with two chairs to enjoy the view. There's a spacious bathroom with walk-in shower. The apartment also has an oversized walk-in closet with plenty of drawers, tons of hanging space and shelves. The kitchenette has all the basic conveniences a guest would need; such as full size fridge, toaster oven, microwave, induction cooktop and Keurig coffee maker, as well as dishes, utensils, a blender, Foreman grill, pots and pans, etc. The memory foam queen bed is super comfortable. The suite has WiFi as well as Dish TV with Netflix and Pandora. We supply bottled water, as well as assorted coffee and tea varieties. Since our property isn't exactly walking distance to anything, we provide our guests with juice and some breakfast items to kickstart their day.

10 minutes to the grocery store and local town center where you can find crafty boutiques, restaurants, a brewery, grocery store and more. Downtown Roanoke is just 14 miles away. Smith Mountain Lake itself offers world class fishing for dedicated anglers. Hop on the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway for a beautiful drive or check out nearby Westlake Golf Course. The Smith Mountain State park has a beach, trails for walking or hiking and nice swimming area.

Keri, was literally the best Host I've ever met through my traveling days so far. she was very helpful and showed amazing Hospitality. I recommend this private getaway to anyone because the suite was clean, comfortable, and filled with many Goodies. We will be back again to experience this wonderful getaway.

Keri was a great host! She was very responsive and flexible with check in. The studio apartment is very private, nestled back in the woods with gorgeous views of the lake. Keri had the fridge stocked with breakfast items and other necessities. She thoughtfully supplied most of what we needed for the weekend. Thanks for a great time! We'll be back!

Ethan2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

This beautiful suite is absolutely perfect for a quiet, relaxing retreat. The accommodations, lake (sunrise!) view, and surroundings were simply perfect. Our stay was so wonderful we, thankfully, were able to add an extra night to our stay with Keri's prompt assistance. Nearby golf courses, shopping, dining, and other SML activities are an easy and scenic drive. We could not have asked for a kinder, more generous hostess and look forward to a future visit!

Autumn2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

My wife and I spent a couple nights here and it was great. The suite is absolutely beautiful and they don't make a better host on this planet. It was what we were looking for private quiet and with a view. I gave all high marks for this

Great location just 1/2 mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway at MP 152. Surrounded by open fields, mountain vistas abound. This home has been lived in and gently loved for many years. There is one bedroom downstairs and two upstairs. An extra cot is available. Fully equipped kitchen! Great for families and a long stay.
Guests are invited to join us when feeding the farm animals (alpacas, llamas, Highland cattle, Jacob sheep and angora goats) each morning. Fun!

Built in the late 30's, Max's House is a classic farmhouse with updates for comfort. New bath and updated kitchen add comforts travelers desire while the flavor of the original home is maintained. Lacy curtains, wooden floors and rockers abound. The home gives you a hug as soon as you enter the door.

Having lived in the area for 30 years, I cannot imagine living anywhere else. The gently rolling Blue Ridge Mountains nestle green valleys dotted with cows, sheep, horses and goats. Our close-knit community shares a strong pride in our special place. The tree lined winding gravel road ends at a pond with a small island and pier great for fishing and ice skating in winter. Very few cars travel our road since it is a dead end. This makes for lots of quiet, bird song, rustling leaves, lowing cows and crickets. Stars abound in the evening sky and mountain vistas open from every curve.
See social media for more pictures and goings-on at Chestnut Ridge Farm Rentals

It was quite hard to find the place since there are no phone connections but we somehow got to talk to her at the end of the street and Jeanne kindly walked out to guide us. Furniture was beautiful, kitchen was well organized, and she even prepared some food thatwe can have before we checked out. All the farm animals were so different and the farm house gave us another great memory of our sightseeing. We'd love to go back when we visit this area again. Thanks Jeanne!

Carter2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

What a special place! My dear friend and I met at Max's House for a brief but lovely girls getaway. This place is simply beautiful. The house is well appointed and very clean and comfortable and the setting is SPECTACULAR! We have already decided to make it a tradition. I highly recommend Max's House--take time to meet the animals, llamas and cows, if you can. Also, we did some tubing on the Little River that was beautiful and fun.

Betsy2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

We were lucky to book Max's House at the last minute and salvage our holiday. Jeanne was waiting for us on the front porch when we drove up. She’s a really sweet person—someone you'd like to know—and lives just down the road. She quickly made sure we knew what we needed to know about the house, local walks, and Floyd…the breeze across that porch and bowl of fresh picked blueberries on the kitchen counter said enough for me. (She also left us eggs, homemade bread, and everything else to make a delicious breakfast. Wow.) The house is a real charmer and makes you want to slow down and enjoy it. Make time to sit on the porch; there’s something new every time you look up: cows and at least four of them are looking right at you, no cows, donkeys scratching their ears on a tree, cows again, and the swallows are amazing to watch—there was one nesting on the porch, so we were quiet out there. From the kitchen sink we watched a deer hanging out under the apple tree...and, on the other side of the fence a llama with one of those "you lookin' at me" looks that llamas do. We could hear the brook in the yard babbling away. All in all, just delightful. We were only there for one night, but could've moved in. As our fallen plans had been for camping, we had tons of food with us, so we cooked. We gave the kitchen a workout and it served us well. We had two terrific meals at that dining room table (it's just like my grandmother used to have). I was the last one to bed and, turning off the final light revealed blissful, disorienting darkness and STARS. It was wonderful! We all had a terrific night’s sleep, an enjoyable morning walk to the pond, and a fun, quick tour of Floyd and the farmers market. We do hope to come again and spend more time. Thanks Jeanne and Rusty.

Steve2016-06-25T00:00:00Z

Jeanne was a wonderful, helpful host. We greatly enjoyed having the farm animals as neighbors! The house was comfortable and the setting quiet and definitely off the beaten path!

Toni2017-05-15T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time staying in Max's House and enjoying all that the Blue Ridge Mountain area had to offer. It is such an interesting region with friendly people and lots of history, music, crafts and great food. Jeanne is a great host and ranks right at the top of all the many B&B hosts we have encountered in our years of B&B travel.

Jeff2017-04-28T00:00:00Z

A very cute cottage, a little remote, but very safe and perfect for families with active children.

Maja2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

The listing is true to the description. My two daughters and I rented Max’s house for a mother-daughter retreat. Jeanne met us when we arrived and gave us a thorough tour. The refrigerator had been stocked with breakfast goodies as a special treat. It was one of the hottest weekends of the summer and we were grateful for the air conditioning. The flat screen TV in the living room was Roku enabled. We each had our own bedroom and we slept like rocks. We spent our time in the town of Floyd shopping and eating, and at two nearby wineries. Jeanne’s husband invited us to go with him to feed the llamas and Highland cows which was really fun and interesting. He even went out of his way to drive us around on a hay ride. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners are very nice, helpful people and made our stay a memorable one.

Spending a weekend staying at Krista's house felt like coming home! As a host, Krista was friendly and attentive. You can tell she takes pride in both her home and her city! The house was extremely clean and well maintained. I thoroughly enjoyed staying with Krista and would highly recommend her home if you are looking for a place to stay in Roanoke.

Ronald2015-04-19T00:00:00Z

One of my best Air BnB experiences! Krista is an amazing host, an interesting person, and a great mom to a super son. She also had a cat with kittens, an added treat! Organic bedding that felt like a dream, and a lovely Toiletry supply and great snack basket, for which I was very grateful, being starved and not wanting to go out. I HIGHLY recommend staying with her if you're ever in Roanoke. Oh, she also typed up a detailed list of things to do and see...helpful!

Cheryl and her husband were a delight! The house is tucked back in its own private area with a great view of the mountains. Every morning we were welcomed by an amazing breakfast (breakfast on the deck was just beautiful and relaxing)! We had our own private entrance and bathroom. The heated pool and fire pit area was perfect at night! Her home is even more beautiful than the pictures. This place is truly a jewel! We definitely plan on coming back!

Cheryl and her husband Jeff made us feel so welcome from the moment we pulled in. We arrived pretty late and they were both waiting up to say hello. The house is amazing and the room was even more than we had imagined! A beautiful log cabin with an amazing bed and bathroom, two decks and a separate entrance. we didn't want to leave! Breakfast was great each day and waiting for us when we woke up! We spent a night sitting out on the deck enjoying the quiet and gazing at the stars. This place really made our trip to Roanoke something special. Highly recommend!

Cheryl and Jeff were wonderful hosts. And Jonas and Emma(?) were super sweet dogs. The house and room - fantastic! Plenty of room and lots of privacy. Very clean and organized. Beautiful decorations throughout. They love baskets and vintage cars and the decor included lots of really cool reflections of that. The bed was wonderful; my sister and I slept great. Location - Awesome! 5 min to downtown Roanoke and only 15 min to the Burglund Center. And you feel as though you're tucked into a mountainside somewhere totally off the beaten path. Nice touches - you can tell they put a lot of thought an effort into making your stay a great one. There was a KEURIG available for coffee or tea anytime. Snacks were laid out for anytime you felt nippy. There was also a cake on the counter and we were told to partake. In the bathroom, there were soaps and lotions and toothpaste and other items in case you forgot them. Lots of soft towels. Even candles on a timer in the bath for ambiance. There was a gorgeous pool and nice sitting areas and we were told we were welcome to join them to hang out at any time. And had we more time, we certainly would have... they are wonderful people we would love to get to know them better. Too bad we were only there for a conference and only stayed one night. We are already planning another trip when we can stay longer!

Christy2016-10-01T00:00:00Z

Our stay with Cheryl and Jeff was absolutely perfect! Their home is beautiful with unique decor throughout, breathtaking views and truly a destination for rest and relaxation. Our hosts were warm and welcoming. They went above and beyond with abundance of snacks, drinks and a delicious homemade breakfast. Our stay at their B&B was quite memorable and we can't wait to visit again!

My place is close to Smith Mountain Lake, Bay Rock Marina, Public Boat landing, 20 minutes from downtown, 15 minutes to Roanoke Memorial Hospital. Lots of hiking within an hour drive. You’ll love my place because of the coziness, the location, the views.. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and furry friends (pets).

Our place is five minutes from the public boat landing and the marina. There is also a cute coffee shop and a farmers market five minutes down the road. We are also a 15 minute drive to downtown Roanoke. We are situated just across the street from the mouth of Smith Mountain Lake. Enjoy your own bedroom, living room, and bathroom with a small kitchenette efficiency.

Great Place. I recommend it. Jessica was quick with communication and stayed with me when I got lost. The place is very private and comfortable. Jessica even provides coffee, a small fridge, and some snacks. Make sure you print your decorations as you might lose service as you get into the mountains.

Kathy2017-06-08T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Jessica's place. It was clean and modern, there was a lot of space, a big bathroom and it was very clean. The location was quiet and country although a short drive to town and the lake. They were both communicative and helpful. I would love to stay there again.

Michael2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

The place was nice and clean! A 30-45 minute drive to great hiking trails. We would definitely stay here again! The host was really kind!

Joaquin2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

Lovely, quiet and extremely peaceful place. My hosts were very respectful of my privacy. I never felt alone in their home (I don't think I would have liked that anyhow) but they were in no way intrusive. They live in the upstairs of the home and I had complete privacy downstairs. The apartment was very clean. The bed was as comfortable as my own and I was provided with a small kitchen that came in quite handy as was the breakfast food that I was provided with. All in all a great first AIRBNB experience!

Julie2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

Great place in a stunning location. Enjoyed having the entire basement to ourselves as well as a handy private driveway. Highly recommend.

Lauren2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Meghan2017-03-11T00:00:00Z

Great rustic hideaway. Hosts very gracious.

Vernon2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Well off the beaten path, but if you're looking to stay outside the city to enjoy the country air, the mountain views, being near the lake and the winding roads, this place is fantastic! Returned one evening to deer in the yard and woke up to the lovely sound of rain. The basement space was extremely clean. The bed was just as cozy as home. The little kitchenette was equipped with mini fridge, sink and microwave. All that I really needed. Coffee and oatmeal laid out provided convenient breakfast when I was eager to get out and explore without finding a restaurant. Wifi is available but is a lil spotty, but the location well made up for some lagging internet. The bathroom was also spotless and giant, thick fluffy towels were a real treat. When I visit the area again, this space will be at the stop of my list for places to stay!!!

Enjoy Bill's place while having easy access to shopping, main roads, and downtown life as well as being in a safe and quiet neighborhood. You have an outside entrance to enter your lower level living space that is comfortable, but simple. There are two beds, TV and DVD player with Redbox nearby, couch and coffee table, ping-pong table, and laundry room if needed. There is a private full bathroom for your use with an exterior entrance for you to enter privately. During the daytime hours this bathroom may be used by the occasional other visitor.

Lower living space as described, and full bathroom with separate entrance from exterior.

There are a number of consecutive ballfields nearby for running or kids to play.
Many chain restaurants, Mom and Pop restaurants, fast food, banks, strip malls, and downtown is only 10 minutes away.

Bill was quick with replies and very communicative, the place was neat and clean.

Carroll2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Was a good place to get some sleep in between shifts. I did not like that the bathroom had a completely separate entrance. I had the pleasure of meeting Bill, super nice and friendly guy.

Robin2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

Great place. Bill was super easy and a great host.

Wesley2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

I would highly recommend Bill's place and definitely come back if I find myself out in Virginia again. Bill was very helpful and provided great recommendations!

Crystal2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

We had a long day on the road and were very late in getting to Bill's place. Even though we had instructions on getting into our room, he stayed up and graciously welcomed us and got us settled in. That means a lot to weary travelers!

Sandy2017-08-22T00:00:00Z

Bill is an incredible host. We arrived very late but he was there to meet us and show us around. He provided great advice for a hiking trail that was less travelled and fun. Very comfortable basement lodging. Highly recommend if you are looking for an inexpensive stay near Roanoke.

Jordan 2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Friendliest host, very communicative. The space is great once you get inside.

My family and friends had a great time at Sandy's lake house! The home was very comfortable and had everything you need for a long stay. There were three refrigerators situated in the garage, kitchen and boat house. The dock was great to swim and play off of and there was an extra slip so we could dock our own boat. The ping pong and pool tables were great for kids and adults, and the porch was fantastic for grilling and hanging out. Their boathouse had two kayaks and plenty of floaties. Just down the street about three miles is a Kroger in case you need to restock on anything during your stay. And we used the washer and dryer and multiple times. I would definitely stay here again.

Joseph2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Sandy's lake front retreat was fantastic. It's a large house located in a more quiet, residential part of the lake. On the inside it was spacious, well-furnished, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals before or after a long day of boating. We were renting a boat from the nearby marina, but there is also a boat ramp just around the corner. The dock at the house is the perfect size for a 10-person boat. It's easy to swim, tube, and fish from the dock too; we caught a 14in bass from there on our first day. The basement and living room are nice areas to get out of the sun for a little while and play games or watch tv. Our host, Sandy, was very accomodating accessible and friendly. This was the perfect lake retreat location; I would recommend it to anyone. We're already talking about coming back again.

Nicholas2016-07-06T00:00:00Z

This house and location is perfect for SML vacations! love the easy access to the water, marina, and local shops. Kitchen is fully equipped. House is very comfortable and relaxing. Great communication with owner. Will definitely keep on my list for future stays!

Lisa2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

Sandy was a great host - very communicative from the start. She answered texts or emails very quickly and personally gave me a call a few days after booking (which was a nice touch). The house is great - right on the lake. You can literally walk down to the lake and jump off the dock to swim. The house has a fully stocked kitchen and includes a pool and ping pong table downstairs. The nice quiet street makes it perfect for a great get-a-way. I would definitely stay here again.

Kevin2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

I traveled over from Australia and met up with the family from the US there. What an amazing experience. By far the best family vacation we have ever had. Sandy was great and I can't recommend her and the house enough. If you're able to stay there, you're very lucky. One of the best places/locations on the lake. If only we could've stayed longer. Thanks Sandy!

(Utube search ROP-wQZW9ko )
Lake House just over 1 hour from Liberty University. Why not spend some time before or after graduation at Smith Mountain Lake with the whole family.

The main level has an open LR/DR and kitchen area good for spending time together. The living room has 2 sliding glass doors to a 10' X 25' deck. Also on the main level is a BR with a double bed and a full bathroom with shower/bath combo.
Upstairs includes 3 BRs. The Master BR has a beautiful balcony overlooking the lake. The 2nd BR has 2 single beds and the 3rd BR is a single. Also upstairs is a full bathroom with a shower.
The basement includes a rec room, bedroom, bath and Laundry. The basement bedroom has 3 single beds (a bunk and single). The rec room has sliding glass doors that open to the porch under the deck.
The TV has netflix access.

The exterior shape of our home is odd, with roof line going almost the ground. Some of the outside walls are slanted, which is unusual, especially to hang pictures on!

David's home was clean and comfortable. David and Ellen were wonderful hosts and made great accommodations for my college graduation at Liberty University. Thank you for a great stay.
